Louisville, Kentucky

There are multiple cool sports experiences around the city, including Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby (come on 11!), the Muhammed Ali Museum, and the Louisville Slugger factory. Also, the Cincinnati Reds triple-a affiliate is based in Louisville, the Louisville Bats. If there's anything I can get behind, it's an entire factory of baseball bats.

Atlanta, Georgia

Many wouldn't expect Atlanta to be as large of a sports capital that it is, but the city is a sports heaven. The Centennial Olympic Park is a reminder of the 1996 summer Olympics and is a vast park in the middle of the city. Atlanta also hosts the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl every January, inside the famed Georgia Dome, which is also the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The College Football Hall of Fame is located in downtown and is three stories of football heaven.

New York

This one is very well known, but the city is the biggest sports market in the world. Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, is one of the nicest ballparks in the league (big fan of Mr. Met). There's also Madison Square Garden, which is one of the most significant sporting locations in the world. Yankee Stadium and MetLife Stadium also provide a solid atmosphere for vital teams to their respective leagues. The MLB is also headquartered in New York. The US Open (tennis) and the Belmont Stakes also take place in New York.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

You won't want to forget your passport for this one. The NHL is headquartered in Toronto, which is also the home to the most successful original six franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Hockey Hall of Fame is also located in the city and is a must for all hockey fans. The Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors also create a fun atmosphere for any sports fan.

Boston, Massachusetts

As much as I don't like the Boston Bruins, the city is well-known for being a sports paradise. The New England Patriots are just a short distance away, and Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is a baseball fans' dream. The Bruins and Celtics also split use of TD Garden Arena, and are always successful and make deep runs into the playoffs.

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
